"An entertaining, fun-filled book with inspirational, common-sense ideas guaranteed to motivate its reader. Joyce Weiss knows her stuff."

Robert Shook
New York Times best-selling author

"Take the Ride of Your Life! Is a book capable of changing one’s life – and give one the tools and courage to do just that. Author Weiss’ analogy of learning to ride a bicycle; the anticipation, the excitement, the heart pounding fear, are used to help one to recognize that no improvements in life are made without a minimal amount of risk or uncertainty.

Shifting gears shouldn’t be so filled with fear, and with MS. Weiss’ help, doing so seems less dangerous. Instead, she offers the lure of the thrill of adventure as an incentive to risk change and strive for self-improvement.

The author explains, in her smooth and friendly writing style, that obstacles can be navigated and overcome, that feelings of fear and uncertainty can transform into feelings of freedom and adventure, and most of all, and perhaps best of all, that we should never stop learning or exploring not only our own selves, but those around us.

Author Joyce Weiss employs a realistic, though at the same time extremely encouraging manner to encourage attempts to attain our goals. Her lessons instill confidence; self-reliance and acceptance are heartfelt and compassionate. Most of all, one gets the sense that she truly cares. Her enthusiasm for her subject shines through in her casual though thought-provoking prose. Take the Ride of Your Life! offers motivation for everyone and it’s delivered with an uncanny combination of insight, warmth and humor."

The book starts with charging your life’s battery with positive attitude and brakes with a discussion of goal-setting and prioritizing. Each chapter has helpful work sheets that drive Weiss’ points home. Chapter 7, covering creativity, was a personal favorite because it identifies the mental roadblocks to creativity and shows how one can detour around them."
